36 Ford jalopy build with video!

[HomeRacingWorld]

Hahahah, oh this is just classic. Solid Gold Classic!

Hey Rob! I think he fired those shots across the bow with the old USS Missouri! :whistle:

I had to fix a computer to see the videos, but I finally saw them. Very nice work on that flexing driver figure. He's going to more fun to watch than anything else.

Shots across my bow, eh? You knew you would get me with a naval warfare reference. But remember, you just gave me your range to target! Broadside to follow, matey!

Meanwhile, still waiting for brass to get here, and I discovered the body for my secret surprise entry is faulty- like very, extremely, faulty- useless. But I'm committed to that car as much as the '32 Ford, so I bit the bullet and ordered a better version of that body. I also found that hammering a bicycle spoke flat makes a great spring. I'll rivet a stack of them and presto! A humped leaf stack for the rear axle and an arch stack for the font. For both cars, I hope. I also finally found my home made rustication kit that I put together a couple of years ago, so when all this stuff is here I am going to lock myself in the shop and have at it.

Hahaha, I knew that would get ya goin! These overly detailed cars are a lot of work! I could have built a couple normal slots in the time it took to build this one. 2 1/2 days is to long! Cant wait to see what you come up with Rob!

That would be one hard to race slot car. I'd be laughing so hard in amazement with the driver action going on. Great job BT.

outstanding, this is way over the top, I wonder if the fan will help out the lap times

[model murdering]

The fan is camouflage, he's actually secretly running the injector pump.

Your inspired over the top madness has me transfixed Bob!

I have just one more delivery of goodies to get my project going. Brass came today, a body base came Wednesday, and I have a selection of flatheads to rust up and use. Ha-HA! Comin' at ya, Bobert!
